U.S. Submarines since 1945

Friedman, Norman: 1994 Naval Institute USA, hardcover with dust jacket, 280 pages, with photos and design drawings. A concise, technology-focused history, Norman Friedman’s U.S. Submarines Since 1945 traces the evolution of U.S. submarine design, missions, and systems from the immediate postwar period through the nuclear revolution to the post–Cold War era, covering hull development alongside propulsion, sonar, weapons, and combat systems in depth. The revised edition extends coverage to late-2010s programs and insights, including advances on Virginia-class SSNs, the Columbia-class SSBN, and newly declassified details on earlier classes, supported by extensive photographs and line drawings for technical clarity.
